So glad I found your work! Intrigued by everything, but mostly wonder about your drawing "2014, Charcoal on Vellum Aug 12th, 2014", which has the subtle, subtle color and larger organic forms. Did you add Conte or iron oxide or ?? to the varnish and charcoal (graphite)?Very beautiful work.

Thank you so much! It's just charcoal and varnish and a little bit of magic :)

I try to keep my tumblr posts about my drawings, but this may be able to explain why I haven’t made so many drawings this year ;)

Here's the excuse I have for not having made a drawing since January. "Morphodynamique", a spray-painted aluminum mesh sculpture was installed in the center La Maison Simons fabulous new store In Gatineau, Québec. But all the while I was making the sculpture, I was looking at the drawings and thinking about them. Hoping to make a few new drawings within a few weeks. Stay tuned.

New drawing! Probably the only one until September as I am embarking on another gargantuan sculpture project. Keeping with the theme, I made a gargantuan drawing (23 x 11 feet)

Sorry if I haven't been posting new drawings but I've been working on this monster of a sculpture, which, by the way, takes the drawings as an inspiration
